HOW DOES PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP WITH NECK PAIN?
Physical therapy can help significantly reduce your neck pain by implementing the following: • Manual therapy treatments which consist of special techniques designed to reduce the stiffness in the neck and improve the range of motion. • Targeted exercises focusing on restoring your neck joint mobility and strengthening your mid-back muscles and shoulders to provide support to your neck.
Physical therapy has proven successful in relieving long-term symptoms in patients experiencing both acute and chronic neck pain. Our therapists emphasize education and instruction on effective exercises and proper posture. Our main goals are to: • Reduce pain and improve motion with manual therapy techniques • Improve mobility through postural education and targeted movements/stretches • Improve strength to help you return to normal functioning in daily activities • Educate you on strategies and techniques to minimize the risk of recurring pain • Minimize and/or eliminate the use of medication or surgery Your therapist will perform a thorough assessment to identify the source of your problem and the solutions that work most effectively. We will then use the information obtained from this assessment to recommend specific neck exercises and advice on which postures are beneficial and which ones to avoid for long-term success.
• Improving your posture when sitting and standing. • Improving the coordination of your neck muscles.
Your therapy may also include additional methods deemed fit by your physical therapists, such as ice and heat therapies, ultrasound, or electrical stimulation.
